Thanksgiving Wine Pairings

Thanksgiving Pairings from the
Pepper Bridge Winery Team

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate the people gathered around the table, the traditions we share, and the moments that turn a meal into a memory.


The Pepper Bridge Winery Team shares so much with you throughout the year, but this Thanksgiving, we're sharing something a little different: some of our favorite holiday pairings and a glimpse of what's making its way onto our own tables. From a fresh appetizer to a familiar holiday favorite, these are the wines and recipes we're looking forward to enjoying with family and friends.


Whether you're hosting a full house or bringing something special to the table, we hope these ideas inspire a few new traditions of your own.

Seven Hills Vineyard

Before the turkey and all the traditional Thanksgiving sides make their appearance, there's always room for a little something to nibble on. Katie, our Wine Club Manager, loves starting the festivites with Green Goddes Whipped Feta Dip. 


Fresh herbs, tangy feta, and a hint of lemon make this appetizer bright and flavorful. Paired with our Sauvignon Blanc, it's an especially lovely combination. The wine's refreshing acidity balances the creamy feta, while its citrus and aromatic notes complement the fresh herbs. 


It's the kind of appetizer that invites everyone to gather in the kitchen, pour a glass, and settle into the celebration.

A Holiday Classic with a Twist
Trine + Sausage Stuffing with Herbs and Cranberries

Stuffing

For Kate, our Social Media Manager, Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a generous serving of sausage stuffing. Her favorite version brings together savory sausage, fragrant herbs, and cranberries for a combination that feels right at home on the holdiay table. 


Out Trine, the Bordeaux blend, is a natural companion. Its layers of dark fruit, subtle spice, and savory character complement the richness of the sausage and earthy notes of the herbs. The cranberry adds another dimension, bringing a touch of brightness to the pairing. 


A familiar holiday dish, made even more memorable with the right bottle.

The Centerpiece of the Table
Merlot + Herb-Butter Roasted Turkey

Merlot

Few things signal Thanskgiving quite like a beautifully roasted turkey. Lindsey, our Woodinville and Vancouver Tasting Room Manager, looks forward to a classic preparation with a little extra flavor from garlic, roasemary, thyme, sage, and herb butter. 


As the turkey roasts to a golden finish, those savory herbs and rich, buttery flavors create a wonderful match for our Merlot. With generous fruit, polished tannins, and an elegant balance, Merlot complements the richness of the turkey without overwhelming it. 


It's pairing that feels both familiar and special, just as a Thanksgiving centerpiece should.
